Job 25

1 Then Bildad the Shuhite replied:

Then Baldad the Suhite answered by saying:

2 “Dominion and awe belong to God; He establishes harmony in the heights of heaven.

Power and terror are with him that makes a pact with those in high places.

3 Can His troops be numbered? On whom does His light not rise?

Is there any limit to the number of his soldiers or to the number of those over whom his light rises?

4 How then can a man be just before God? How can one born of woman be pure?

Is it right for man to compare himself to God, or to appear pure though he is born of woman?

5 If even the moon does not shine, and the stars are not pure in His sight,

Behold, even the moon is not radiant, and the stars are not pure, in his sight.

6 how much less man, who is but a maggot, and the son of man, who is but a worm!”

Is man much more than rottenness and the son of man much more than worms?
